“Balinese decoration and an organic restaurant, in the hip Vesterbro district. A fabulously stylish spot for couples and spa breaks. Beautiful white rooms and suites with pale woods, Persian rugs, teak four posters, and some with private balconies. Enjoy the luxurious roof top spa. ”

Hotel review

Latest addition to the growing brigade of laid back Guldsmeden hotels (as well as Bertrams there is the Carlton, also in Vesterbrogade) the Axel includes a spa and penthouse suites with private terraces amongst its 129 room, decorated in Guldsmeden's signature Balinese style, with teak four posters and Persian rugs, plus modern technology. And another of its excellent restaurant/cafes, with delicious organic food served on Mexican pottery.
